"Worst" is pretty darn subjective. Some were judged "worst" purely because of looks, marketing or the behavior of their executives. And since looks are pretty subjective, some of those cars were and have been on my want list.

To me, "worst" should be shoddily made. There may be a few other things that I might question (aka H2), but if they are well built and fill some niche they are would not be on my "worst" list.

Yugo, you bet. Trabant, yep.

Delorean DMC12? Huh? Why? Because Delorean was caught with cocaine!? Sheesh.

Triumph TR7 definitely. TR8? No. Though it looks similar there was almost nothing of the TR7 in the TR8, and it was a well built car (unlike the TR7). But Triumph was killed by the TR7. The fact that the TR8 looked almost the same didn't save them.

Enough of a time killer. I've got to get dinner.
